Go to sleep...

Rating: 2/10 (31 October 2012)

One of the most slow-moving movies I have ever watched. I tried watching this movie with a friend, hoping that some of the stellar user reviews and the general score it has on IMDb are correct. I was completely let-down. I don't know what about this movie is supposed to be so good. Is it the emptiness? The sense of nihilism? What? I am not a big fan of slow-moving cinema but I do appreciate when it's done well, to the advantage of thorough character development. I speak of films like 'Gattaca' or the Coen brothers' 'The Man Who Wasn't There'. These films are not heavy on the special effects - there aren't many explosions and such but I've never watched and yawned. This, on the other hand, had my head drooping within the first 45-minutes.
I feel like it would have been better done as a book.
A mediocre production with badly rendered cinematography. You would be better served watching something else if you don't want to fall asleep. I do not recommend this.
